Another storm is hitting us and the weather reports are conflicting, but I am wagering that there will not be school again tomorrow. With the cold weather is was an excuse, not a big one, to make a pot of soup and a warm, comforting dinner. Looking in the refrigerator I decided another kale soup.

3. Add the mushrooms and saute for another 10 minutes.
4. Add the garlic and saute for another 5 minutes.
